Dual-use Refridgerator

[Hegh]

Is there any way to use a fridge with attached freezer for both fermentation temperature control AND chilling beer to drinking temperatures? Obviously, if you are doing lagers, you could just share the compartment, since the desired temperatures would be similar, but what about if you are doing ales...?

I'm in the market for a fridge, and I'd love to be able to use it for both kegging (which I'm starting to get into, but just piece-by-piece due to my budget) and fermentation temperature control.

Yes, in some cases. If it has separate fans for the two sections, you can install thermostats to control the fans. Ain't easy, though.
